Why Not

I met a person Who makes me feel that I Can learn to love myself and someone else Someone real, someone here And not a perfect image of what's not possible And not alone She doesn't know how hard I try And in a perfect world We'd both just know About ourselves, and how much someone else could mean to you Mean to me A real human connection in this life And after all, that's all it is She doesn't know how hard I try But after all of that, I'm still afraid to hurt someone
